Chapter 3030 The Reunion
"You''ve recovered!" The pleasure and surprise were visible in the face of Austin''s mother as she
eximed.
"This is unbelievable! And your body seems to be stronger than it was in the past!"
"Yes, that''s true. I''m feeling extremely well." Austin''s father was examining his body carefully, taking
each detail with an astonished delight.
He waved his fist and pounded his chest, then raised a foot to give the ground a mighty heavy kick.
He was indeed full of energy now, and was at a far greater level than his younger self.
"Dad," Austin stepped up, his voiceced with a mixture ofplicated emotions.
"Austin? My son, is that really you?" He hadn''t really noticed Austin up until then.
He stared at his son with shock, and perhaps a little hint of suspicion.
He rubbed his eyes a few times to make sure that he wasn''t hallucinating. Austin waved a hand, and
dramatically increased in an instant.
Austin motioned for him to settle in a corner, and proceeded to exin things to his father, down to the
veryst detail.
It took a lot of words, and much time, before his father was finally convinced that his son had really
returned to life.
"What an amazing gift! The heavenly god has granted us double blessings!"
Austin''s mother could not contain her joy at their immense good fortune.
"You managed to recover wonderfully, and Austin came back alive.
I''m so happy.
I''ll go get some food from the market.
Chad will be home soon.
We must have a dinner feast to celebrate the reunion of the family!"
She was grinning from ear to ear as she took a bank card from one of the cabs sitting at the corner
of the room.
She ced it into her pocket with great care, and patted it gently.
She obviously valued it like a precious treasure.
Then she scrambled about, picking up other things that she needed before hurriedly leaving for the
market.
It was already eight in the evening at the time.
In the years when Austin was not around, his parents would usually wait for their oldest son toe
home from work and have dinner together.
"It seems like life hasn''t been easy on you while I was away," Austin said slowly.
He had noticed how his mother treated the bank card earlier.
It tugged at his heart.
"Are the days always so hard for you, dad? You''ve be so poor."
Secretly though, the gears in Austin were already turning.
''I must earn arge sum of money so my family can live a better life.
They wouldn''t have to worry about the finances anymore.''
The truth was that he had yet toe up with a concrete n with respect to his and his family''s
future.
He was mostly upied with the goal of seeing his family again, so he hadn''t thought that far ahead.
Well, two choicesy before him.
He could let his family live the rest of their lives here on Earth.
He had intended to expand their life spans anyway, for as long as he could get away with it.
Probably a few hundred years at least.
He wanted to still be able to meet them when he visited Earth every now and then, in the centuries to
But then he would need to find means to support them and alleviate their life from poverty.
His other option was to bring his parents and older brother back with him to the Fallen Immortal
Cosmos.
He could help them start cultivating martial arts.
They could be a family of cultivators!
Once that happened, they could each choose their own paths, cultivate whichever teachings they
wanted, and forge their own destinies.
Be that as it may, Austin found himself unable to make a choice for the time being.
Besides, being back on Earth after so long, he nned to stay for a considerable length of time.
The Earth, after all, belonged to the Yellow Cosmos, which was one of the core advanced cosmoses
among all universes from the ancient times.
The Earth was also one of the birthces of many divine gods.
It was said that powerful divine gods existed on Earth when it was first formed.
That being said, Earth was considered quite an enigma for cultivators from the outside world.
In the Yellow Cosmos alone, it was known as one of the top ten mysterious ces of the universe.
As a cultivator himself, Austin was, of course, curious about the secrets of Earth as well.
He held a strong desire to delve into its core and probe into its every crevice.
Naturally, he would intend to stay as long as he wanted and explore this ancient as much as he
could.
As he finished mulling these things over, his older brother Chad came home just as their mother said.
He was frozen in shock as well, upon seeing Austin, sharing the same stunned reaction with his
parents.
Austin used his spiritual sense to examine his brother and found that Chad''s internal organs were in
pretty bad shape, and his body was very weak. He coughed often, as his fragile body struggled to
breathe in air.
He appeared to have suffered greatly at the hands of the rich young master''s subordinates, seeing as
how even his internal organs were badly damaged.
Austin passed on a strong stream of life essence from the spiritual tree to his older brother.
He also forced Chad to consume a superior spiritual pill, which should help him absorb the life
essence.
After a while, not only did Chad''s internal organs heal, but his energy and physical strength also
increased significantly.
He gave a little punch in the air, and the force he emitted was at least one thousand pounds. It was an
impressive improvement, although it did not reach the two thousand pound mark Austin was expecting.
Still, it was already an astonishing amount for ordinary humans to possess.
That night, their mother prepared a wonderful meal, full of the brothers'' favorite dishes.
Austin had returned, alive and safe, and the rest of the men in the family had fantastic recoveries.
The room was full of joy and gratitude for these blessings. It was safe to say that the Lin family had
never been that happy in the past ten years.
Their mother would pile up food on the men''s tes throughout the meal, forcing them to eat up and
eat some more. Austin, for one, had so much food in his mouth the entire time, he eventually found
himself having difficulty chewing. Still, his mother kept refilling his bowl. He was feeling rather
embarrassed, but his heart was filled with warmth. In the month following his return, Austin stayed
home and enjoyed thepany of his family. He managed to learn how to use thetest mobile phone.
He also learned how to use the Inte to maximize his knowledge. He began to study the society that
developed in the ten years that he was gone. He familiarized himself with the new social norms, until
he no longer felt like a stranger to this new age on Earth.
A few dayster, Austin''s father decided to go out and look for a job. He had initially wanted to pick up
his old job as a porter, since with his renewed strength, it would have been easy for him to carry heavy
Austin protested, and tried to persuade his father and brother to stop working altogether. He had ns,
after all, to find a way to earn huge amounts of money so his family could live a carefree and
support the family. Austin could not convince them, so he had to let them do what they wanted for the
time being. Another half a month passed, Austin went up to his mother and said, "Mom, I''ll be out for
some time. I''m going to visit some of my old friends."
"That''s good," his mother smiled. "It must have been boring for you to spend time at home all these
days. It''s better for you to see your friends and have some fun with them. But don''t be away for too
long, son, or I''ll worry."
Seeing as how she had lost a son for a decade, and had only had him back recently, it was
understandable that his mother was a little reluctant to part with him for a lengthy period of time. She
did love her sons so much. After bidding the rest of his family farewell, Austin left.
Instead of taking some modern means of transportation, though, he went to a quiet, isted corner,

and used the Omnipotent Lightness.
He turned into a sh of light that disappeared in the blink of an eye. The light traveled across the
surface with its natural speed, shing from here to there in an instant.
Austin was, in fact, heading for the provincial capital, where he intended to stay a couple of days.
''I need to give some lessons to the bastard who bullied my father and Chad.'' A little cruel smile was
ying on his lips. ''How dare he bully my family! No one is allowed toy their hands on any of my
family members.''
After having lived the life of a cultivator these many years, it had be a habit for Austin to kick the
ass of anyone who made the mistake of offending him.
For his part, he would, of course, not provoke others on purpose. But once insult was thrown at him, he
had no qualms about paying it back at twice the price.
He soared above the ground at lightning speed, even faster than the rate that most bullet trains went.
After all, the trains were still visible to the naked eye no matter how fast they zoomed by. Austin, on the
other hand, was invisible at his full speed, save perhaps for a faint trace of the stream of light that
would go past.
It wasn''t really so remarkable, though, since his cultivation had actually taken a sharp fall after the
Regression he had suffered.
At the moment he was only at the Earth Realm in terms of cultivation base.
But then again, his body possessed an endless vital energy, which never was, and never would be,
exhausted.
The vital energy stone in his elixir field alone held magnanimous amounts of strength, having
constantly absorbed energy through all the years.
"What was that?"
"Did something bright sh by just now? It had an almost human like shape."
"Is something wrong with my eyes?" "Oh my goodness, did I just see a ghost sh by?"
Many people actually noticed the light trail that Austin left as he zoomed past.
It was very faint, however, and the encounter very brief, that when they squinted or rubbed their eyes to
take a closer look, they saw nothing there.
